Hi John. It's too damn late in the year for that crap! Did the white crap you had before melt off?

It was all gone except a little bit along the fence in my yard, there is still small patches in the forest in the shaded spots. It's stopped snowing now and temp is slowly going to rise to +5°C (41° f) so the covering should disappear by noon hour

Nice! Finally able to get it back out to play!! I had the 68 Mustang out, doing some road test after tuning the new carb. Amazing what replacing a 50 year old carb will do!

I put an Edelbrock on the pickup last year and it sure made a big difference from the stock 2 bl , the AOD transmission really helped too.

I put the same Holley 4 barrel on it, that was on it stock. The old one just had too damn many vacuum leaks, it was impossible to tune.

Good evening Illinois, Sean, and John!

61° and sunny today. For tonight they're calling for frost and here I thought Winter was gone.

Mowed the front and back yard today. Was the second mowing.
